Grassley on the Health Care System

WASHINGTON
– U.S. Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa discussed health care
from the Senate floor. Video can be found here

Some elected officials are proposing
radical changes to our health care system. These proposals
include Medicare for All, Medicare Buy-In, Medicaid for All and
expansion of the Affordable Care Act. All of these are versions
of government-run health care. These are of course
better campaign slogans than serious solutions to the problems
facing Americans. On the personal level, I have found most
people would rather have control of their own health care rather than
have the government make those decisions for them. A single-payer
care system would be devastating for our seniors, people with
disabilities and people with preexisting conditions.

Democrats
are releasing their plans to effectively eliminate private health insurance in
favor of a national, single-payer system that would take away personal choice
and freedom – further expanding Washington’s control over Americans’ health
care decisions. Read more here.
